Me too

In Social Security's Progressive Paradox: Retirement "insurance" as a Rube Goldberg machine, Julian Sanchez wrote:

First we had a "conservative" Congress and president pushing through expansions in Medicare and federal control of education that would make Lyndon Johnson blush. Now we have liberal pundits horrified at the notion that President Bush, by proposing progressive indexing of Social Security benefits, would contemplate transforming a universal social insurance program into a de facto welfare program. Progressives decrying welfare? Have we slipped into some strange mirror universe?

This occurred to me, too.
